<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4513989, member: 19463&quot;]It takes a while for collectors new to ancients to understand all the differences in coins caused by dies being individually cut rather than hubbed or mechanically reproduced.&nbsp; maridvnvm correctly used &#039;similar&#039; in this case.&nbsp; Specialists might note the difference in the chest decoration while most of us would lump both together as one coin.&nbsp; I do not have a Pax in this group but look at my Salus with obverse chest decor medallion (three dots in circle flanked by dots in the four corners) compared to the OP 5 dot version.&nbsp; This is an optional feature of most/all ancients.&nbsp; We have to decide what we mean when we say something is the same or different.&nbsp; To well over half of collectors (the one coin per ruler crowd) all coins of Maximianus are the same.&nbsp; I don&#039;t recall meeting anyone who collected chest medallion varieties but I did know a student of laurel tie dots.&nbsp; This is a hobby that we customise to our own requirements.[ATTACH=full]1118417[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
